After losing out on retaining the services of Bobby Simmons, Jerry Crowe of the L.A. Times writes that the L.A. Clippers are now turning their attention to Sacramento free agent Cuttino Mobley.

Mobley, who made 43.9% of his three-point shots last season to rank third in the NBA, might be a better fit with the Clippers' other projected starters ? Elton Brand, Corey Maggette, Chris Kaman and Shaun Livingston ? and would enable Maggette to move back to small forward, his more natural position. The Clippers last season ranked last in the NBA in three-point shots made and attempted.

Mobley, who made $5.9 million last season, might also require a lesser financial commitment than Simmons, whose open-market value was higher than the Clippers had imagined.

Mobley has attracted attention from other teams, however, including the Denver Nuggets.
